The smallest cell in the human body, in terms of volume, is the sperm cell. When the cell that preceeds the sperm divides, by meiosis, it divides evenly, creating four small sperm cells. Each sperm cell is little more than a nucleus propelled by mitochondria and a flagellum. Interestingly, when the sperm cell reaches the ovum, only the nucleus enters. Therefore, no male mitochondria move on to the next generation.

Sounds a bit left field. Organelles are membrane bound sort of mini-organs inside cells: things like mitochondria and peroxisomes. Micro-tubules, which I *think* are responsible for pulling objects about inside cells are not organelles, afaik, but I seem to remember someone said they might be computers once.

That would depend on what human you are talking about. If George W. Bush, then obviously it would be the brain cell.
